Warsaw Improv Lessons

I recently participated in a 3-hour-long improv workshop held in the basement of a club in Warsaw. About 25 people showed up to the improv lesson led by Michał of the Warsaw improv/sketch troupe "Klanczyk". I had a bit of trouble with the Polish language, as I spent 23 years living in Milwaukee. It was interesting to try to do improv in Polish, and watch as everyone reacted to the guy with the American-accent who seemed a bit "slow." In improv you generally have to move fast, think fast, and speak fast. I had trouble with the third one. I am planning on attending more improv workshops with this group, and am also planning on performing at an Open Mic. Warsaw's comedy scene is very immature when it comes to Improvisation/Stand-Up Comedy. Although Poland has a rich theatrical and burlesque tradition including a very popular style called "cabaret" the country is quite far behind the UK and USA when it comes to fresh, young, stand-up and improvisation talent.

I'm in a book! Well it's an Ebook.

Philip M. Parker the inventor of a system to automatically write books on hundreds of topics "assembled" a book entitled "Dialogues: Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrase" published 2008 by ICON Group International, Inc. you'll find an interesting article about yours truly. I was excited when I found it, but when I realized it was auto generated, and an e-book I was kind of bummed. However, you'll notice I am on the same page as Reservoir Dogs and ROM Hacking. You can find the mention here:

Another Film Appearance Found (Who is Russ T?)

I was able to get a link to one of the two movies I have been unable to find a clean copy of for some time. I contacted the director of the movie and he was kind enough to send me a link to the video so I would be able to embed it in my blog. I haven't watched it and am not sure if I will even be in it. I am quite well known for being cut out of film projects (e.g. Star Monger, and Scare Me). I'll watch the rest of it and let you know if I managed to survive the edit suite. This is my first appearance in a documentary since "Underground Comedy", a video I am unable to currently find online. However this is differant in that I am an actor recreating past events in this video, where in the "Underground Comedy" video I appeared as myself.
